MT4 pending orders

 

Here's a question I was wondering about...

If you have pending orders in MT4 (like a buy stop and a sell stop), will they be executed if your MT4 platform isn't running? For example if your computer is switched off?

Thanks.

What are you saying ??? it's totally wrong !

Pendings are on the broker's server, and they will be triggered even if your terminal is not running.

You can login to your account from another computer and see them ! How could that be possible if they were on the terminal / PC which has send them ?

 

Hmmm, now I'm confused.

I guess I have to test it myself.

Don't worry, all the pendings, the StopLosses and the TakeProfits are on the server.

Axxo must have probably understand "trailing stops", which are on the terminal but not on the broker's server.
